Custom homes in Toronto demand precision. From downtown condos to North York estates, Rosedale manors to Etobicoke builds – we’ve painted them all. Every project teaches us something new about quality finishes.
Our company handles custom home painting for builders and homeowners throughout Toronto. We coordinate timing with general contractors, show up when scheduled, deliver work that passes final inspections without callbacks.
Years of new construction work taught our painters what matters. Fresh drywall needs proper prep, trim requires four coats for glass finish, walls need sanding between applications. We use proven products, follow tested methods, keep job sites organized.
The Three Stages of Custom Home Painting
New construction painting is completely different from repainting lived-in homes. Timeline changes, challenges multiply, coordination becomes critical. We don’t arrive day one and immediately start applying paint. Instead, we work alongside builders, carpenters, drywall tapers and others. Our proven system consistently delivers professional results. Here’s our complete process from beginning to end:
Drywall Priming
Once drywall taping and finishing are complete, priming begins. Ceilings receive spray application followed by backrolling for uniform coverage. Walls get rolled only – we skip spraying here. The reason? Construction sites remain dusty environments. Sprayed wall surfaces trap dust particles, creating rough texture. Rolling produces cleaner results, takes less time, requires minimal masking. It’s the optimal balance of efficiency and quality.
Initial Painting
We arrive for initial painting expecting tiles laid and carpentry completed. Ideally, flooring’s installed, vanities are in place, kitchen cabinets mounted. This sequence prevents other trades from damaging fresh paintwork. The site should be cleared of tools, materials, and workers. Reasonable cleanliness is expected before we begin.
Our initial painting phase includes four distinct parts – preparation work, spray application, wall finishing, and site cleanup.
Preparations
Every nail hole gets patched, all trim and door damage repaired. We caulk hundreds of gaps where woodwork meets walls. Tiles, windows, flooring receive protection from overspray. Preparation cannot be rushed.
Spray Painting
All woodwork receives spray primer, then gets sanded smooth. A second primer coat follows, then more sanding. Two finish coats complete the process, with sanding between each. Four total rounds create glass-smooth trim. Every door gets sprayed – both sides plus all edges.
Walls Painting, and Clean-Up
Walls receive light sanding before the first rolled coat. After the second coat, final sanding ensures smooth finish. All protection comes off, windows and floors get cleaned. Accent walls and color transitions receive crisp lines without any bleeding.
Paint Touch Ups
Once plumbers, electricians, and countertop installers complete their work, we return for touch-up visits. We repair any damage they caused. Typically requires 2-4 days depending on how many trades worked and their care level.
We address wall scuffs, fix scratched trim, repaint damaged sections. If stairs need staining, this timing works perfectly since foot traffic has ended. Final walkthrough with homeowner or builder ensures everything meets standards.
